in keeping up the activities that are supported by digitalization. The implementation of 
digitalization provides impacts on several sectors, especially in business sector. Both 
electronic information technology and economic globalization have been developed 
rapidly that put e-commerce’s role to predominate the economic activities in many 
countries [1]. One of the activities of business process is web-based purchasing, by 
buying the goods are posted by the company, which sell and send the products through 
the internet [2].

To align the recent technology era that supported by the internet, several innovations 
are merged to form a method, called as online shopping. It utilizes a platform that 
specifically designed to support business process. Several things that should be consid-
ered in e-commerce, among others is the requirements of development by adopting the

intelligence, financial information, trade secret among companies over information 
source that its misused regarding to online activities will lead to serious threat [3]. 

It requires many researches for initiating new online business as well as active data, 
technology-based integration, financial platform, and volume of products that could be 
retrieved [4]. Recently, there are numbers of researches in the form of proceeding and 
journals related to e-commerce implementation. The researches include factors, such as 
sample, population, sector and area that could be directed to the research gap. The focus 
towards existing gap could support future researches as well as to maintain the previous 
research. The research was taken using systematic literature review methods to see the 
gaps that occurred. This looks at the latest research based on perspective in the global 
scope. Looking at the perspective compared globally can create an opportunity for an 
update on business processes with the aim of knowing the achievement of business 
segmentation and factors that affect the global scope. Therefore, the improvement for 
problems will be carried out as well as sustainability of research.

2 Research method

Systematic literature review is the method designated for this research. It reviews 
28 literatures that related to the implementation of e-commerce. This research is per-
formed in detail and structured manner. It is initiated with problem identification orig-
inated from literature reviews, followed by the literatures filtering and analysis of the 
result. The topics are derived based on the initial topics determination that later will 
be treated as literature analysis. The alignment of topics and literatures is reviewed 
through analysis of problems, so the gap will be shown to convey the novelty of  
the research. 

2.1 Plan the review

The systematic literature review method is initiated by planning the topic that will 
be discussed for the entire research. The topic-related literatures should be determined 
at the first place. Later, keywords are applied in the searching process for literatures by 
previously determining the suitable keywords to perform detail and specific writing in 
finding the subject, object and case study. Then, the scope of the research is generated 
in general context by using the keywords. The topics include the basis of  e- commerce 
existence, the implication and the factors that could influence the importance of  
e-commerce towards recent technology development. 

This research applies literatures that are published in one of the journal publisher 
websites, which is Proquest. The search of literatures in certain website is purposed  
to itemize the scope of research to ease the research writing. The keywords are  
e-commerce, platform, business process, and systematic literature review. The keyword 
selection is also adjusted to the topics of discussion that will be examined to provide 
limitation in searching the literatures.

2.2 Apply screening criteria

Next stage comprises planning and the collection of literatures, called as screening. 
It is designated to filter the literatures based on determined topics. In screening process, 
additional limitations are also set, such as year of publication. This research limits the 
literatures to the last 3 years. Type of literature is journal which applies English as 
the language selection. The limitations in screening process are assigned to focus the 
research on the existing problems, to ease the analysis of literature review.

2.3 Analyze the review

The last stage in Systematic Literature Review method is topics discussion towards 
problems that previously identified in the literature review. Related analysis is carried 
out that originated from the result of screening criteria. Each problem could be derived 
from existing gap in the current literatures. By employing the review protocol, there 
are three things that should be identified, which are bibliography, detail of case study, 
focus and content publication. Bibliography consists of name of the author, year of 
publication, title of publication, type of publication, name of publication and scope 
of publication. Detail of case study consists of object of case study, method, sample and 
population as well as analysis model. Focus and content publication stage comprises 
research motivation, the objective of research, finding description, the advantages of 
research, the disadvantages of the research, and opportunity for future research. Review 
protocol could be seen in Table 1, by using one of samples derived from literatures.

3.2 Detail of case study analysis

Numbers of internet users attract the company owners to try online business. Con-
sequently, more conventional companies run their business online. The utilization of 
internet in performing the business has initiated new form of transaction between buyer 
and seller, well known as e-commerce [5]. Figure 2a describes the background or moti-
vation of 28 reviewed literatures. Based on the analysis result, the highest of the amount 
literature mentions for motivation of the research is the technology development in 
e-commerce is 10. Sophisticated technology owned by users could become a key to 
create different shopping experiences that are practiced by customers and provides ben-
efits to retailer, such as the improvement of traffic, conversion and basket or efficient 
operational cost [6]. In addition, the other motivations for performing the research are

3.3 Focus and content analysis

The development of e-commerce is characterized as dynamics, fast growing and 
competitive [7]. Rapid development of e-commerce business allows people to establish 
new business, since it takes less cost to initiate the business [8]. The importance of 
e-commerce could be acknowledged, since recently it becomes powerful selling tools 
and marketing for the company to obtain visibility, to reach the targeted customers 
instantly in its purpose to fulfil business objective [4]. The division of Customer Rela-
tionship Management (CRM) could easily record the data of customers’ behaviour. It 
enables the company to prepare individual items, related items or merges them as an 
offer based on existing preferences as shown by purchased or visited items [9]. 

Once the investment in e-commerce business is increased, the necessities to adopt 
effective risk management technique are also developed, to protect the related aspects 
as well as artificial intelligence, financial information and trade secret among ele-
ments of other companies’ information resource [3]. Other factors, such as level of 
education, urbanization, and social media users are identified significantly related to  
the potency of e-commerce [5]. Figure 4 presents the graph of basic supporting vari-
ables for e-commerce.

Fig. 4. Support variables for e-commerce

Based on Figure 4, it could be resumed several supporting variables that are used 
as basic ground in e-commerce. They are designed to establish the effective and effi-
cient internet-based business process. Future opportunity for business process will be 
well-designed if all supporting variables could be included, to improve existing system.

Paper—The Role of e-Commerce: A Systematic Literature Review

Variables in business branding is defined as content that oriented to business of cre-
ation performed by amateur or professional with the intention to system replacement, 
which is different with traditional content as well as content definition employed by 
users in social trading [10]. The existence of proper content could promote the business 
brand itself. It can be said that business branding is formed to establish the brand rec-
ognition towards people.

Based on the analysis of variables in social and economic development are consid-
ered in initiating business process, not only relies on technology transformation but 
also the effect on social and economy. The role of human resource and benefits of future 
business process could lead to effectivity. The growth of e-commerce business has sig-
nificant effect towards service demand, product’s delivery, in which per capita income 
participates in increasing the demand. 

Other analysis from the variables of efficient system in e-commerce platform signifi-
cantly enhances the company’s probability and volume of export; e-commerce platform 
enables the company to export various of products to many countries by reducing the 
cost of market threshold, information and export, while increasing the trading effi-
ciency [11]. By considering to the e-commerce system effectivity, then a system could 
be built to ease the workers and customers in real online buying, such as price compar-
ison, product’s rating, and preferences factor, which is the best offer and information. 
Availability has high correlation with online customers behaviour [2]. 

The application of software used in business processes. Variable of framework 
 application is designated to identify the system and security process of established 
e-commerce, by providing a framework in the form of simulation model for agent-
based e-commerce, in which the agent interacts with seller through broker, analysing 
seller’s behaviour and tendencies, creating many market rules that represent each dif-
ference level of competition and purchase options [12][29][30]. Supporting variables 
also determined by necessities and customer’s preferences. E-commerce with proper 
system could increase customers’ satisfaction level. Since it could ease the customers 
while performing business process.

3.4 Research gap

After accomplishing systematic literature review towards 28 literatures, research 
gap is then formulated. Table 2 represents the research gaps that are designated for 
future research opportunities.

Paper—The Role of e-Commerce: A Systematic Literature Review

Research opportunity is organized based on numbers of supporting literatures. There 
are six literatures which support research development, both for research model and 
technology aspect. The test which is carried out with larger sample is supported with 
3 literatures. The test that employs different countries as the object, to identify the 
comparison result among countries is supported by 2 literatures. The measurement 
for relationship between customers and sellers through e-commerce is facilitated with  
2 literatures. Qualitative assessment is supported with 2 literatures. The assessment on 
case study with the same method is accommodated with 1 literature. The test on custom-
er’s perspective towards e-commerce service is supported by 1 literature.  Furthermore, 
it could be said that e-commerce research includes not only economic and technical 
aspects but also the aspect of social and its consequences [27][31].

4 Conclusion

E-commerce is an activity and application that could be accomplished through the 
utilization of its infrastructure that supported by five factors categorization,  presumed 
as foundation of trading, such as people, public policy, marketing and promotion, 
 supporting services and partnership business [28]. Based on the authors analysis 
result involving systematic literature review, it is concluded that e-commerce could be 
engaged to achieve effectivity and efficiency in business process. The existence of inte-
grated system is designed to merge inter-elements, such as customers, producers and 
distributors. The integration leads to single system utilization that could reduce the risk 
of failure in business process, as well as designated to expand business network. One 
thing should be considered is the quality of the websites, to simplify the communication 
of existing business process.
